The other day I asked what you wish you’d known about menopause and there were a lot of answers - so I’ve grouped them for easier digestion. By far the most common answers were: ⭐️ getting knowledge and information so you can be could be prepared (as they say - forewarned is forearmed) ⭐️ wishing you’d known about the effects on mental health. Feeling as though you were going ‘crazy’ or weren’t ‘yourself’ anymore were common answers ⭐️ how early it starts and that is creeps up on you. One response was that it was ‘insidious’, another described it as ‘a misery cycle’ but others said there were positives too (no more periods, not caring what others think as much) ⭐️ that it can be managed with HRT and lifestyle changes and, ⭐️ that you don’t have to keep quiet- you can get help and advocate for yourself.
